PROGRESS OF MITIGATING MEASURES FROM APPENDIX 1 TO EMP. This chapter describes the progress of the 151 mitigating measures aimed at preventing and limiting adverse impact of the undertaking on environmental resources specified in Appendix 1 to EMP for OVFMP 1A.1. contract. Information on progress of the works is also provided in the Checklist attached hereto as Appendix 1. Implementation of the measures specified in EMP started on the day of the notice to proceed with the Construction Works, i.e. on 30 May 2017, and ended on the day of signing the final acceptance certificate, i.e. on 26 Jan 2022. The Contractor's environmental supervision prepared an inventory of construction sites and land acquired temporarily from June to August 2017. The inventory determined presence of protected species (dwarf everlast, Helichrysum arenarium, red-stemmed feathermoss, Pleurozium schreberi, broom forkmoss, Dicranum scoparium, reindeer lichen, Cladonia portentosa, 22 bird species, and 3 mammal species). Derogation decisions were obtained for the species before starting the works in relevant locations. The nature inventory was prepared again by experts of the newly selected Contractor from September to October 2020, and no protected species were identified. In September 2017 the Contractor’s archeological supervision verified the construction site for presence of archeological sites, and stated that a new round of surveys was not required, thus considering the mitigating measure number 10 conclusively completed. Contractual works were under on-going archeological supervision of the Contractor (item 145). The archeological supervision identified no historic monuments. In September 2017 and in September-October 2020 the Contractor’s ordnance disposal supervision surveyed the construction site(s) for presence of unexploded bombs or munitions (item 13). During the Contract’s delivery, the civil works were under on-going ordnance disposal supervision of the Contractor (item 143). The ordnance disposal supervision identified no unexploded bombs or munitions.
